Romney campaign backpedals on MLK march claim

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said he watched his father, the late Michigan governor George Romney, in a 1960s civil rights march in Michigan with Martin Luther King Jr.
On Wednesday, Romney's campaign said his recollections of watching his father, an ardent civil rights supporter, march with King were meant to be figurative.

"He was speaking figuratively, not literally," Eric Fehrnstrom, spokesman for the Romney campaign, said of the candidate.

The campaign was responding to questions raised by the Free Press and other media after a Boston publication challenged the accuracy of Mitt Romney's account.

Until RIGHT NOW I hadn't even considered that.

His supporters are fanatical enough that they'd probably be willing to get the signatures necessary to get him on all the ballots. He seems to have the money to run and with money you can buy the legal expertise necessary.

I think he'd probably pull 80% of his votes from the Democratic candidate, so he could be just as much a factor as Nader was in 2000. If I were the Republican nominee I'd start spurring Paul on.
